Matter of: University of Dayton Research Institute File: B-412973 Date: July 12, 2016 Daniel A. Bellman, Esq., Daniel A. Bellman Law Office, for the protester. LtC Aaron G. Lake, LtC Mark E. Allen, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and Cherie J. Owen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly declined to award protester a contract under broad agency announcement for research and development related to electromagnetic materials is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was conducted in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria and the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's proposal, while acceptable, required further development. DECISION University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) of Dayton, Ohio, protests the decision by the Department of Air Force, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), not to award it a contract under Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. BAA- AFRL-RQKM-2015-0008, for the research and development (R&D) of a broad range of electromagnetic materials under the nanoelectronic materials optimization (NEMO) program. UDRI argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The BAA, issued on September 23, 2015, sought proposals for electronic and optical applications for the AFRL. Advances made in the program are expected to lead to improved nanomaterials, material processes, and devices for digital, radio frequency, microwave, infrared detector, opti-electronic, secure communication, power generation, sensing, and control applications.
